After every disaster we see moving profiles of those who have died.
Why have we seen so few in this pandemic? Why do we talk about the numbers and not the human stories?
NYT has an in-depth project to fix this. Heartbreaking to read. But all of us should.

How many famous people who have died of COVID were still healthy and young enough to be in the primes of their careers?
I believe firmly that even those who think deeply about the pandemic can get numbed to the scale and inhumanity of it. Reading about the lives of those who've died needlessly is important and should be a community practice.

Important distinction: these are death notices, paid for by families and friends. The NYT obituary staff, with the help of volunteers from around the newsroom, is writing amazing profiles of those who died from the coronavirus. You can read those here
I’ve been thinking today about #Covid19 pandemic fatigue. Am I tired of being careful? Am I slipping in healthy habits? Am I putting people I love at risk? Well loved people are dying, every day, and it helps to remember them.

Grateful for @nytimes haunting coverage of those we have lost to COVID-19, even if they will never be able to scratch the surface of it.
The beautiful people lost to the Corona Pandemic! 💔💔💔 NYT has put a face to the statistics.
